Is it legal to jailbreak, hack and crack your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch iOS4? According to a new ruling by the Library of Congress, they have made this legal in the U.S. in the name of ‘educational purposes’. The new ruling has been added to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act via two new sections, they are:
Computer programs that enable wireless telephone handsets to execute software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications, when they have been lawfully obtained, with computer programs on the telephone handset.
Computer programs, in the form of firmware or software, that enable used wireless telephone handsets to connect to a wireless telecommunications network, when circumvention is initiated by the owner of the copy of the computer program solely in order to connect to a wireless telecommunications network and access to the network is authorized by the operator of the network.
tutorials on jailbreaking your iOS has been since the birth of iPhone. Apple has been playing the cat and mouse game with these hackers, however, with this new ruling, Apple could probably challenge it.
If you’re into jailbreaking your iPhone 4 and void the warranty, try Redsn0w 0.9.5 Beta 5. As promised, it can jailbreak iPhone3G or iPod Touch 2G (non-MC) 4.1 Beta 2 but it cannot hacktivate your iPhone.
